Roles of Chiral Symmetry and the Sigma Meson in Hadron and Nuclear Physics | | Teiji Kunihiro

11 Sep 2000 | | Subject: | hep-ph hep-ex nucl-ex nucl-th | | Abstract: | We first review the recent accumulating evidences of the existence of a scalar-isoscalar meson with the mass 500 to 800 MeV which may be identified with the sigma meson as the quantum fluctuation of the amplitude of the chiral order parameter. We indicate that phase shift analyses which respect chiral symmetry (ChS), analyticity and crossing symmetry of the scattering amplitude show the sigma meson pole in the $s$-channel as well as the $
ho$ meson pole in the $t$-channel in the pi-pi scattering in the $I=J=0$ channel. We emphasize that the existence of the $sigma$ resonance does not contradict with the success of the chiral perturbation theory; phenomenological difficulties with the renormalizable linear sigma model do not necessarily deny the validity of the linear representation of ChS of QCD as given by the NJL-like models which not only admit the $sigma$ resonance but also reproduce the coupling constants $L_i$ and $H_i$ appearing the nonlinear chiral lagrangian. We give some examples of the hadronic phenomena which are naturally accounted for with the $sigma$ meson. We show that the the $sigma$ meson as the amplitude fluctuation of the chiral order parameter may be more clearly identified than in free space in hot and/or dense matter, even in finite nuclei where partial restoration of ChS may be realized. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0009116 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
